Episode Summary

When Paulina witnesses Danny's ghost transformation, he fears the exposure. Imagine his surprise when Paulina swears to keep his secret -- then becomes his girlfriend! Life is great for Danny, until he finds out that Paulina has actually been overshadowed by Johnny 13's girlfriend, Kitty, in her plot to make Johnny jealous. Danny reluctantly plays along to protect his own identity, but, when Kitty's welcome wears thin, Danny pleads with Johnny 13 to take her back. When Kitty abandons Paulina's body and goes back to her true love, Paulina resumes her indifference towards Danny Fenton -- although she's now madly in love with Danny Phantom!moreless

Paulina discovers Danny's secret...

a as a result starts dating him because he's her favorite ghost and hero. However Paulina proves to be very high maintenance and manipulative by taking Danny away from his real friends. Then it turns out that it is really Kitty he is dating. Kitty was overshadowing Paulina the whole time in order to get Johnny 13 jealous because when they visit the human world Johnny gawks at the young ladies while ignoring Kitty. Danny and Johnny hatch a plan for a fake fight to get Kitty to take her old boyfriend back while Danny damages a Fenton device for making mini portals once the mended couple is in the ghost zone. Afterwards Danny returns to his old friends because Paulina never remembered Danny's alternate identity due to being overshadowed. This episode isn't the best but it is far from being the worst or lame.moreless

Eh... not my favorite episode.

I fairly didn't like the fact that Danny was dating Paulina. For one, I really hate her and for two: I support DXS. We do find out later that Kitty is overshadowing her to make Johnny jealous because he rarely seems to pay attention to her. It hasn't aired on TV in a long time, so I haven't seen it in a while. But, they finally work something out, Sam's jealous and breaks things (lol) and the popularity chain is broken and screwed up. Yeah.... I didn't care for it plus why haven't they played it on TV? It wasn't unpopular, was it?moreless

There were a lot of Danny and Paulina moments (sad for me). But if you squint really closely, there were mini 'Sam has a crush on Danny' moments too.

Okay, where do I start? This episode showed how much Sam really cared for Danny, becasue she was jealous enough to punch a dent in a locker, rip the flag off of a mailbox, and crush a napkin holder. I've tried it, and people, it isn't as easy as it looks. So this episode shows that Sam definitely has a crush on Danny.But what about Paulina and Danny? I don't really support this couple, but for those of you that do, I hope I'm not offending you in any way. Well, anyway, Danny likes her and Paulina seems to like him. Until of course, Danny realizes that she had been overshadowed by Kitty the entire time. So there's a love triangle now. I love love (Cool, I said love two times in a row!) triangles as long as the couple I like ends up together.In the end, Paulina is back to normal, but now she has a crush on Danny Phantom (not Fenton), Star and Kwan end up together, and the trio of Danny, Sam, and Tucker are back to the way that they were in the beginning.I only review episodes with DxS moments in them, but DxS thoughts do count, too. I love how Sam's jealousy was shown, and I love how Kitty knew how Danny felt about her. Those moments are totally considered DxS. I don't care if you disagree, they ARE! YAY DXS!!!moreless

First ever love rectangle. And Sam got soooo jealous! :)

The absolute greatest part was seeing Sam get so jealous! XD I loved when she beat the locker up the most! Lucky in Love proves that Sam has feelings for Danny, and shallow as she is, at least Paulina has great taste in ghosts. It looks like Danny wasn't so clueless, either.

"I was going to overshadow your friend, the spooky chic in black. You like her, don't you?""Sam? Well...I, uh..."Plus, Danny was awesome at fighting Jhonny. Danny beating ghosts up never fails to amuse me. ^_^"Ow! I thought this was supposed to be a pretend fight!""Then pretend that didn't hurt!" Go, Danny!moreless

Eh, I don't know, but something about this episode wasn't as great as the others...

Eh, I don't know, but someting about this episode wasn't as great as the others. Nonetheless, I liked seeing Kitty and Johnny 13 again. I liked the end scene with Danny and Johnny 13, and I like Kitty's character a lot. The part with Kwan at Sam's goth poetry club was really funny as well. I don't know, but the scene with Danny and Paulina to me were really boring and I couldn't help but loose a bit of intrest. Other than that, Danny was, as always, adorable, and I liked the ending with Kitty and Johnny. Eh, I'm still somewhat undecided, but I appreciate this episode greatly.moreless

Trivia, Notes, Quotes and Allusions

FILTER BY TYPE

TRIVIA (15)

We learn that Kitty suspects Danny of having a crush on Sam, who she was planning to overshadow. In a later episode, it is revealed that her boyfriend Jonny also thinks Danny and Sam have a thing together.

In the end when Tucker looks at Danny's hallpass, he says he was only one more stamp away from getting a free frozen yogurt. If you look closely, it has only been stamped eight times, but in the beginning Dash says it has to be punched ten times.

In Kitty's flashback, she phased Johnny's motorcycle through the meat truck, but after they go through, there is some meat on them. Since Kitty, Johnny, and his motorcycle all became intangible, they would not have been able to come into any physical contact with the meat from the meat truck.

In the montage, when Danny is about to go the his locker, there is no sticker on the locker next to him, but when Danny places the new picture of him and Paulina over the old picture of his friends, there is suddenly a sticker that says "Krox," on the locker next to Danny's.

When Danny puts his foot on Johnny during their "fight," he steps on his green skull necklace, but when Kitty comes out of Paulina's body and is about to hit Danny, his foot is near the green skull necklace, not on it.

The picture of Sam, Tucker, and Danny that was in Danny's locker (before he replaced it with a picture of him and Paulina) is the same picture Wulf was carrying in the previous episode, "Public Enemies."

Look Hard: In Paulina's Inviso-Bill love shrine, there are:1) Two Danny Phantom action figures hanging from her locker.2) Six pictures of Danny Phantom.3) A pink poster that says "Paulina (picture of a heart) Inviso-Bill."4) The Ghostbusters symbol.5) Two pink lit candles.6) A pink pot with three roses.7) Two purple hearts.8) A purple mirror.9) A purple banner that says "CHS."

Look Hard: In the locker of the blonde boy who screamed "Nooooo!" after Paulina (overshadowed by Kitty) openly declared that she and Danny were dating, there is a love shrine to Paulina, which is very similar to Paulina's shrine to Inviso-Bill near the end of the episode. In that locker, there is:1) A heart-shaped disco ball.2) Two lit candles.3) Five pictures of Paulina (one of them is in a heart shape). 4) Two posters that say "Paulina."5) A poster that says "Love."6) A poster that says "Always."7) A poster that says "Forever."

Look Hard: Nathan (who officially debuts in "Reign Storm") makes two short cameos in this episode. The first one is at the lunch table on the right in the cafeteria when Danny says, "I'm really happy that you're cool with this, Paulina." and the second one is at Nasty Burger, during the scene where Sam and Tucker are simultaneously complaining about Star and Kwan, Nathan can be seen sitting at a table on the right, although he is completely blue.

Apparently, Kwan desperately wants to fit in a social group, since he was considering the chess club, after he was temporarily kicked out of the popular group and Sam and Tucker did not want him in theirs either.

Kwan and Star are the second and third members of the popular kids that were thrown out of the group, the first member was Valerie in "Shades of Gray," however, she was not let back in at the end of the episode, like Kwan and Star.

Tucker reveals that Star is Paulina's satellite, "the marginally attractive girl who always orbits around the popular girl." However, in the numerous speechless cameos that she made in previous episodes, the only time she was near Paulina was in "Splitting Images."

Look Hard: At the beginning of Kitty's flashback, there is a billboard that says "Amity Park, A Nice Place to Live," which is a variation of the billboard that appeared at the beginning of ""13"," "Welcome to Amity Park, A Safe Place to Live."

Look Hard: During the montage, in Kwan's locker, there is a picture of Kwan and Dash in their football uniforms. Dash's number is 4 (which was first revealed in "What You Want") and Kwan's number is 10.

We learn that being a "cool kid" in Casper High comes with a "Cool Kids Membership Packet" that says "A-List" on it, a nerd that does the cool kid's homework, and a hall pass card, that can get that cool kid a free yogurt after the hall monitor stamps it ten times.

Running Gags: 1) Tucker talking about giving a girl mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. 2) The blonde boy that loves Paulina screaming "No!" after seeing her with Danny and after hearing that she's going out with Danny. 3) Sam claiming that she is perfectly happy with Danny being together with Paulina, and then physically taking out her anger on objects. 4) A person telling somebody not to talk to a person because they are nowhere near cool enough. 5) Kwan unintentionally making Sam and Tucker miserable. 6) Star bossing Tucker around. 7) Someone suggesting that someone else "should play it close(r) to the vest." 8) Someone asking if something is "like a..." and then someone else replying "not like a... a..."

Opener: Danny, Sam, and Tucker are at the Floody Waters water park, and Tucker is eager to give girls mouth-to-mouth. After Sam leaves to go to the bathroom, Johnny 13's Shadow appears. Danny accidentally runs into Paulina and Star, who make a joke about him. He ignores it, goes ghost, and battles Shadow. He defeats Shadow and after he changes back into human mode, he sees that Paulina was watching him.

Johnny 13 has attached an un-named Fenton gadget to his motorcycle. It allows him to drive in and out of the Ghost Zone when he pleases. It creates a portal in the dimensions that allow him to go through. However, Danny destroyed it and trapped him in the Ghost Zone.

ALLUSIONS (3)

Sam: Bathing Suit & Lunch BoxSam's bathing suit looks very similar to Batman's costume, especially the batwings on her bathing suit. Also, in the scene where Danny says, "I'm losing my mind!," Sam's purple lunchbox is shown and it has the Batman logo on it. More Info

Title Screen: AppearanceThe title screen of the episode is modeled after the poster for the very famous 1939 movie, Gone with the Wind. Danny is holding Paulina the same way Rhett Butler was holding Scarlett O'Hara.

Danny & Paulina: Clark Kent/Superman & Lois LanePerhaps the relation between Danny & Paulina is taken from Superman. Clark Kent/Danny Fenton is in love with Lois Lane/Paulina who has a crush on Superman/Inviso-Bill. But Lois/Paulina doesn't know that Clark Kent/Danny Fenton is the same superhero that they love.
